And
I have made these in the past with a side port, but I’m really not fond of that look even if it might provide a tinsy bit more player feedback. With 3 other instruments to play, all with side ports, this one held its own. The sound is typically Koa but with a bit more sustain because of the larger body. Guess I’m going to have to make some more Double Puka Super Tenor Ukulele.
